More than 70 shows later, New York Fashion Week is over for another season. The week-long event has an economic impact currently estimated to be $900 million, nearly $15 million more than last year's figure, according to Fashion Week Online and the turnout is reported to have been approximately 125,000 people.

When it comes to American fashion, few designers wield as much influence as Diane von Furstenberg. Most famous for the often duplicated wrap-dress style she introduced in the 1970's, she's built her reputation on a dedication to young designers (she's chairman of the Council of Fashion Designers of America), her support for women (her docu-series, "House of DVF," gives women a chance to compete for a role in her company) and, naturally, her unique sartorial taste.
